write GET URL variable to page using javascript

I have a form which contains a wysiwyg editor. The form data is sent to a page using a GET method in the form.

How would i decode(to keep the DIV and BR tags) in the variable and print it out on the page using Javascript?

Any help would be appreciated

The equivalent of decode would be unescape(), you should be able to something like this:

(function(){ 
   document.$_GET = [];
   var urlHalves = String(document.location).split('?');
   if(urlHalves[1]){
      var urlVars = urlHalves[1].split('&');
      for(var i=0; i<=(urlVars.length); i++){
         if(urlVars[i]){
            var urlVarPair = urlVars[i].split('=');
            document.$_GET[urlVarPair[0]] = urlVarPair[1];
         }
      }
   }
})();

document.write(unescape(document.$_GET['varname']));

Maybe you should try this script: http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-url-decode-encode.html It encodes decodes everything.
